Damien Echols of 'West of Memphis'

I read that you live in Salem, Mass. now, is that right? We moved about two months ago. Does that seem ironic at all? Kind of, but it's also good. The way we were looking at it, it's like they already made these mistakes once upon a time so they don't want to repeat 'em. So theres that aspect of it. And also just due to the history of the place it's made it like a Mecca for anyone who practices any form of alternative spirituality whatsoever. We can walk one street over from our house and get Reiki or acupuncture. You can't throw a rock without hitting a tarot card reader somewhere. It's finally like I'm in the majority instead of the one who stands out. Shouldn't tarot card readers know the rock is coming and get out of the way? [Laughs.] See, now that's physics. I'm not good with that. -- Matt Pais Click here for the full Q&A>
